Well... I did it.. Got a Raven with the 6MT, Bespoke, trunk matt..
Had 22 miles on the odo.. just came in.. It was hard choosing the colors as I liked the dark blue and the silver also called out to me..
The Raven just stood out a bit more for me..
Looking forward to putting some miles on it .. Thanks for all feedback..

Congrats. Post a picture or 2. Only thing in my mind is bespoke not worth the extra cash.

I had to get the BeSpoke in mine as at the time that was all that was available and I did not want to wait. I b!tched about it enough to get the dealer to give me $500 off the MSRP so it was not a total loss.

So far though I am not unhappy with the BeSpoke. I dont use any of the features yet because I have an android phone. When listening to HD radio it sound great but non HD sounds like sh!t. Not sure what the regular radio sounds like since I have never been in one with it.

Good choice

Welcome to the family!
I got my FRS two weeks ago and I'm loving it!

Look at the Bespoke this way: At least it looks a hell of a lot better than the stock head unit...

EXACTLY why i went with the Bespoke, didnt feel like going through the hassel of an aftermarket H/U and it just adds so much to the cabin look, the stock H/U looks like poop

Congratulations! And good bargaining!

Stock unit looks fine...much nicer than my stock RSX unit, and it has more features(the FR-S). USB is all I wanted.

What I dislike is that I need to fade the speakers to the rear setting of 4 to get a good f/r balance. And I sit with the seat almost all the way back as it is. Other than that it's more than fine for a stock stereo.

Nothing wrong with stock radio ;p
